YESTERDAY PREVIEW VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE

Yesterday, the new adventure game from Pendulo, is now available
for preview! After leaving its mark on adventure gaming with its
million-selling Runaway trilogy, and more recently, The Next BIG
Thing, Pendulo has strayed from comedy and is offering an original
and dark thriller.

This preview version offers you the opportunity to step into the
scariest investigation of your life by going through the first two
chapters of the game. This is a good occasion to get to know two of
the three playable characters of Yesterday, and shed some light on
the mystery of the disappearing beggars.

After having left its mark in adventure gaming with its
million-selling trilogy Runaway and more recently with The Next BIG
Thing, Pendulo Studios will deliver early 2012 its newest
adventure: Yesterday. Though the unique graphic style, trademark of
the Spanish developer, has not been left behind, Pendulo has now
given up comedy for once and is offering an original and dark
thriller.

In New York City, beggars are disappearing one after another,
only to be found burnt alive. Meanwhile, a Y-shaped scar forms in
the palm of the hands of seemingly unrelated people. With the
police and the media giving little attention to these events, Henry
White, a young and rich heir dedicated to a charitable
organization, and his friend Cooper, are the first to investigate
these disappearances. They are two of the three playable characters
in Yesterday, the third being none other than the enigmatic John
Yesterday, who is dragged into this incredible story after his
memory is completely wiped.

This is the starting point of the brand new adventure from
Pendulo Studios. More will be unveiled in the coming months,
without spoiling the deep scenario and its numerous turning points
which are sure to surprise many players when the game releases in
March 2012!
